It’s back to the playground for Katy Perry as she plays skipping rope games with school girls on a trip to Madagascar for UNICEF. The US singer met school children and dropped into a few classes at recently rebuilt primary school after it had been destroyed by a cyclone. Madagascar is one of the poorest countries in the World and it is hoped Perry’s visit can help draw attention to the problems faced by many on the island. During her tour the singer has visited a number of projects run by UNICEF focusing on issue from health to child protection and youth development.
